this state of things Delegate Gales of Can.
ada said that 100000 Canadian hearts
were beating in sympathy with Ireland'a

that there was no liberty in Ireland, or in

Quincy, Ill. said the idea that the Irish peo-

Mr.. Powderly suggested that perhaps tho
people did not understand Mr. LabaCie's
point, and the Detroit delegate continued:
Simply this, that only four generations ago
my ancestors roamed about this country be-

their lips.
The audience found in this little speech
the cause of much merriment sand they
